Chapter 73
I was busy chasing the back of Jang Woo-hee and the boss, who disappeared quickly.
If you look away for a moment, the two of them disappear quickly.
‘It’s so fast.’
If there were agility stats in this work, Jang Woo-hee would definitely be at the top.
“Ugh, as expected, that little friend. It’s not an ordinary bet. It’s going to be that fast.”
Noctar running behind me murmured.
I glanced back.
Noctar is at the very rear.
Amy and Sienna are chasing straight behind me.
“First of all, I will keep following Jang Woo-hee. It will be difficult, but I will run with this tight grip.”
“I understand, Master.”
“Uh-huh, I see. You only need to stop once… That bad boy or a person who suddenly runs away is too fast. It’ll be as good as any elf swordsman.”
So we kept following them.

Jang Woo-hee ran vigorously.
However, the distance with the head was not easily narrowed.
‘Is that good enough?’
Originally, I was going to catch up right away and deal with it quickly.
But the boss was no joke.
There is a high probability that it will be a long chase.
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌!
Jang Woo-hee took out a dagger from the pocket tied to her thigh and threw it.
“!”
However, the boss pulled out a short sword from the bouncy clothes and simply struck a dagger.
It’s such a natural response.
As if he knew the path the dagger flew from in the first place.
‘It’s not a good match either.’
Thinking like that, Jang Woo-hee threw a dagger one after another, but the boss easily blocked it.
It deserves it.
The boss she was aiming for, Melon, is also an assassin. He is also a veteran assassin with long experience.
Of course, Jang Woo-hee is also at the top of the continent in terms of technology.
Like the next successor to the assassination gang Equilibrium, she is born with the best talent, but her actual experience is far less than that of a veteran.
Jang Woo-hee is still 14 years old.
it’s a pity
Seeing that, Theo said.
“Sienna, can you tie that guy’s feet up?”
“No, it’s difficult for someone who is moving that fast. The distance is too far. I’ll try something if I stop the movement a little bit.”
“Hmm.”
Theo quickly shook his head.
‘It’s a way to lock down that [Melon] for a while.’
Is there any way to stop it for just 10 seconds?
If you hold it for 10 seconds, Siena’s spirit will be able to bind Melon.
Amy said to Theo who was trying to figure out a way.
“… Master, we’re going around the same place right now.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Master. I’m not very good at it, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about one persimmon.”
“okay······.”
A strategy flashes in Theo’s mind.
What Amy said would be true. Because she has an innate sense that cannot be tailored by her traits.
Immediately, Theo looked around with an enhanced [observer’s eye].
It was as Amy said.
It was the same place as when I first chased Melon.
I didn’t know it because the whole area was covered with grass and trees, and I didn’t have time to look around because I was chasing Woohee Jang and Melon, but now I can see clearly.
‘If it’s a melon anyway, it will keep going round and round the same place.’
At this point, Melon would have noticed too.
That the people following him are just students of the academy.
And now, ‘Turning White’ seems to be paying attention to out-of-standard students such as Nike and Philip, or students with outstanding talents in a specific field, such as Andrew, Ralph, and Max.
You won’t know the face of our team.
At least, the only one I know of is Jang Woo-hee.
‘then······.’
Obviously, Melon will induce and do a physical battle.
The difference in physical stats between toddlers and grown-ups is quite large.
Amy and I were on our side, so we figured out that they were going around the same place all the time, but if you were a normal academy student, you’d just go round and round and miss the Melon.
Theo squeezed out the rest of his strength and caught up to Jang Woo-hee.
“Jang Woo-hee.”
“yes.”
Jang Woo-hee’s gaze was still fixed on the melon.
“Do you trust me?”
“···What does that mean?”
“Literally. Do you believe me?”
Theo’s calm but heavy voice.
Jang Woo-hee did not speak for a while.
“···believe.”
Then he muttered low.
Theo looked at Jang Woo-hee calmly and opened his mouth.
“Lend me.”
“What?”
“Moonflower.”
“······································································!
Jang Woo-hee’s eyes widened.
Even so, very few people even know the name of Wolhwa.
Even within Equilibrium, only a handful of people knew about it.
‘The prophet is right. It’s also very good.’
Jang Woo-hee bit her lip happily.
I’m also glad that my eyes weren’t wrong.
I was relieved that I had finally found the Prophet.
“······Okay.”
Jang Woo-hee threw the moon flower tied around her waist at Theo.
Theo immediately packed the Mon-Tue into his pocket.
Moonflower.
A dagger with a graceful curve that Jang Woo-hee took before coming to the northern forest.
Although it looks like a dagger for a ceremony, the Moonhwa is not such a frivolous thing.
An extremely rare item in the entire continent.
There are not many items like this in the secret weapons warehouse of the Balderk family, where all kinds of high-quality weapons are piled up.
Moon and Tuesday are legendary grades—normal, rare, heroic, legendary, mythical—in that order—weapon.
And Theo is well aware of the weapon’s hidden special effects.
Jang Woo-hee glanced at Theo briefly.
“But there is.”
“what.”
“You must give it back. That’s mine….”
“Of course. First of all, keep following him. You just saw a new future.”
* * *
Melon easily ran away.
‘Heh heh, the level of the students as well.’
One person was annoying, but it was literally just annoying.
As well as using a dagger, considering his small stature, he must have been an assassin who focused on technology.
You just have to avoid close combat against a kid like that.
Throwing a dagger from a distance is not a threat to yourself.
‘She must be Jang Woo-hee.’
Currently ranked 5th in the first-year rankings of the Ellinia Warriors’ Faculty, Woohee Jang.
He had dark hair, and given his small stature, it was certain.
‘I’ll have to hold out for another two hours.’
It’s hard to ask for support.
Since he periodically contacts the members of the academy through a one-way notification method, he has to remove it himself.
Of course, I am confident.
There were no professors, and there were no students like Nike & Philip who were judged out of standard.
I can’t even imagine the situation of being caught by such a kid.
They don’t even know they’re going around the same place for the third time now.
I keep running away with that thought.
“?!”
A man came out of the large bush next to it.
He was a handsome man with silver hair.
But Melon is a skilled veteran assassin.
I was just surprised by the unexpected situation, but I quickly found my composure again.
The silver-haired handsome man exuding a vicious force was holding a dagger in his hand.
Judging from his posture, he seems to be a swordsman rather than an assassin.
‘There is absolutely no reason to fight.’
Melon passed the handsome man and immediately tried to run away.
at that time.

Flirty–!
Running at an explosive speed, the man swung a dagger towards her thigh.
awesome speed.

For a moment, it was faster than Jang Woo-hee.

For a long time, it’s hard to react because I’ve gotten used to Jang Woo-hee’s speed.
However, Melon is a worn-out veteran.
even managed to avoid it.
Either way, the men attacked one after another.
He tenaciously aimed only at Melon’s thighs.
shoo woo–
Jang Woo-hee threw a dagger to support Theo.
Melon defended Theo’s attack by slashing the dagger with his short sword as before, but-
“Ugh.”
Theo’s speed was too fast.
Theo’s dagger cut Melon’s thigh shallowly.
Melon hastily changed its strategy.
Originally, additional reinforcements could come, so we decided to run away without confronting him as much as possible, but I decided to just kill them all.
She avoids melee combat to avoid any chance, but it doesn’t mean she’s not confident in melee.
No, if it’s one-on-one, I’m rather confident.
It was minor, but it was hurt.
In this state, it is difficult to escape from this man’s high speed.
“I feel bad.”
Melon swung his short sword straight at the man’s thigh.
As soon as the lower body shakes when dodging, it is about to aim for the neck.
However,
Shoo–!
The man did not dodge, and went straight into her arms deeply.
“··········!”
get hit
have to step away
The dagger the man is holding is an unusual object to even pretend to be.
And what madman would dig in instead of dodging an attack.
Obviously bad things will happen if you get even a little bit stabbed by a dagger.
Melon immediately stepped back and backed away.
The man raised the corner of his mouth and continued to attack.
There was no defense.
It was a one-sided attack.
‘Well?’
Melon gradually got used to the man’s dagger.
I was too nervous, to be honest, the man’s dagger wasn’t a big deal.
There was nothing to see except speed.
‘I think it’s overrated because it’s fast.’
Melon was not funny.
Of course, there is no way that I can get tired of a single student.
Especially since he’s not a notable person.
at that time.
“uh?”
Suddenly, my arms and legs stopped moving.
It feels like being tied to a strong string.
pooh.
At the same time, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.
The shape of a softly shining flower in front of you.
“Ahh······.”
That beautiful scene was the last scene Melon saw.
